Set up ADR for Programmable Controllers

These steps are needed to set up automatic data repopulation from programmable
controllers in FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix software.

1. Run the ADR Wizard to generate the RSLogix library import file.

2. Import the library file into the RSLogix ladder program for the controller.

3. Enable ADR on the controller Device in the Device Setup page.

4. Configure meter tags, specifying the ADR buffer index for each tag by using the

Trend log parameter value.

MicroLogix ADR Considerations

Real-time clock functionality is required to utilize ADR in a MicroLogix controller. The
following firmware is required for clock functionality:

MicroLogix 1100 controller, Series A, FRN 1 or later

MicroLogix 1200 controller, Series C, FRN 4 or later

MicroLogix 1400 controller, Series A

MicroLogix 1500 controller, Series C, FRN 6 or later

MicroLogix 1000 controller does not offer a real-time clock.

The real-time clock option must be installed in MicroLogix 1200 and 1500 controllers for
clock functionality. FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix software uses file N14 with a length of 12
words for reading and writing clock status. Two rungs of ladder logic are required for
reading and writing the clock:

NEQ N14:0 0 BST CPW #N14:0 #RTC:0.YR 1 NXB CPW #N14:1 #RTC:0.MON 1
NXB CPW #N14:2 #RTC:0.DAY 1 NXB CPW #N14:3 #RTC:0.HR 1 NXB CPW
#N14:4 #RTC:0.MIN 1 NXB CPW #N14:5 #RTC:0.SEC 1 NXB CLR N14:0 BND

BST CPW #RTC:0.YR #N14:6 1 NXB CPW #RTC:0.MON #N14:7 1 NXB CPW
#RTC:0.DAY #N14:8 1 NXB CPW #RTC:0.HR #N14:9 1 NXB CPW #RTC:0.MIN
#N14:10 1 NXB CPW #RTC:0.SEC #N14:11 1 BND

FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix ADR Wizard for RSLogix

The ADR Wizard is a Windows program named ADRWizardForRSLogix.exe, located in
the ‘ADR Wizard for RSLogix’ folder under the FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix program
folder. The wizard requires Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 to be installed on the
computer the wizard will run on. The Framework is installed by default on Windows XP
and 2003 Server operating systems. Users with access to the FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix
server can run it on the server. The program file can be copied to and run on any computer
with the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 installed.

ADR for Logix controllers (ControlLogix and CompactLogix) uses PLC/SLC mapped
tags.
